Mother of FSU wide receivers coach Ron Dugans passes away

The Florida State family received some devastating news this morning when wide receivers coach Ron Dugans announced via Twitter that his mother, Kathryn Dugans, had passed away after a battle with cancer.

Dugans announced that his mom had stage 4 breast cancer in May on Twitter.

He has missed the last week of football practice to be with his mother during the ordeal.

Dugans is a Tallahassee native. He attended FAMU DRS before playing wide receiver at FSU from 1995-99 and was a starting receiver on the Seminoles' 1999 team that became the first team in college football history to ever go wire-to-wire as the No. 1 team in the country.

He finished his career with 105 receptions for 1,520 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.
